This is the continuation of our new ALPHA-2 ATC swap . . . . . . . . . . . . . Alphabetical ATC swap.This months title will be: ALPHA-2b. . . . . . folowed by ALPHA-2c and so on.This ALPHA-2 started in September this year and I will run this swap for the full alphabet.Each month will have a 'Sign Up By Date' and a 'Get It To Me Date'.To join in you will need to make 4 portrait style identical (or as near as possible) ATCs. . mearuring 2.1/2" x 3.1/2". . . . 'Sign-up by date'. forALPHA-2b = Saturday October 18th. . . . 'Get it to me Date'for ALPHA-2b = Monday October 27th . . . last day for posting is Friday 24th . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The reason for making 4 ATCs is, so that when your swaps returned you you will receive your own Number 1 of 4 (1/4) back each month and 3 of other peoples to collect. This gives us all chance to collect 4 complete alphabets whilst keeping a memento of our own Arty work to peruse for further ideas.If you save the received swaps in a 9 pocket collectors page it is nice to able to view a 3 month swap on each page.

thriftycrafter, I think you have a very sensible head, 'cause joining in these swaps proves that.

Steph, each letter of the ALPHA-2 swap will be a sign-up, as I agreed with Lorraine before starting on this marathon. Hopefully no one will feel too commited not to join in and also there won't be any presure on anyone this way.You're on the list now.
